Roaring Forties 22 and 23 July 2023
We have joined forces with Vectis 40’s Vintage in order to present and promote The Roaring Forties! A weekend packed full of celebration and remembrance of Britain during the Second World War.
The Wildheart Sanctuary itself is located within Sandown’s iconic Palmerston fort which, when upgraded in 1864, became better known as the “Granite fort” going on to play a significant role in the World War 2 effort, evidence of which is still on site today!
This is a unique opportunity to experience a part of the British and Isle of Wight’s gallant war effort and, in celebration, while still being able to enjoy spending time with our beautiful animals.
There will be live music of the era, a home guard demonstration, military vehicles, an authentic air raid shelter experience set up in our underground caponier, artefacts, and memorabilia, all while Tommy’s patrol the sanctuary keeping visitors and our animals safe from harm!
Our café will be serving a special war time menu with our Chef cooking up a storm in the kitchen with delicious traditional British puddings on sale too.
It’s going to be an unmissable display celebrating a momentous achievement in our nations history.
Standard admission applies.
